Bought a weird 169 - anyone know what this is?
I picked up a used 169 from a member on another site. It is odd that it is a manual lift (seller provided hydro lift from a 1450 and a sleeve hitch...) and it had some odd looking brackets welded to the front of the frame. Anyone have any idea (or guess) what the brackets were/are for? The seller suggested that he thought the weld job was too good to be home brew and thought they might have been some sort of dealer option.
I checked the serial plate on the frame and it is a 169 and the location of the plate is consistent with the serial # of the tractor - so it is for sure (as much as one could verify) a 169. Thanks for any input. I've gone from quitelines to a 169 in less than 2 weeks - I'm bite by the Cub bug  -Calvin

During the 169 production, they ran out of some of the parts for the hydraulic lift, so they were sent out with manual lift instead. The ones with manual lift were supposed to be taken back to the dealer later and have the hydraulic lift installed. There were quite a few that were never taken back so that's why yours doesn't have it. As far as the brackets on the front, I can assure you that they are not factory. That was a PO mod.

Looks like to me some sort of quick attach with 2 pins on the inside for mount and the fork part as the up/down, kinda like my 72.

I'd have to agree that those are not factory. They look to me to be rough flame cuts welded on by a first time Lincoln stick welder user. As to what they are for, I'd guess a modified front blade mount of some sort.
The rest of the tractor looks real good. I'd say you've got a good find there!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
